NEED FOAM TIPS makes the treble smooth and clear. Very clean harman sound with smooth but well extended treble/one of the best treble under $200, no roll-off. The pinnacle of trying not to offend anyone, but light bass/low-end; another harman.

Endgame Harman, one of the smoothest IEMs I've heard with Tangzu Sancai tips (regular). Some units might be hotter in the treble/pzt timbre

A solid reference. Harman-style sound signature with solid sub-bass, clean forward vocals, smooth treble extension, and great detail. Could use more bass, vocals can feel lean and a bit intense at times.

Overall clean sounding, works well with quicker pop genres (Jpop/Kpop) Male vocals recessed, does not work well with the other half of Jpop/Kpop. Lower midrange suffers from thinner note weight (tuning)

A little bit thin and shrill sounding. Hexa costs half as much and it's the better IEM.

A slightly more V-shaped version of the Truthear Nova. A bit more bass, a bit more treble. Not as vocal focused. Some of the best technical performance at $150. Good accessories. Shells are more compact than the Nova.

The Simgot Supermix 4 packs a quadbrid driver configuration (1DD+1BA+1 Planar+1 PZT) into a comfortable resin shell. Its sound follows a U-shaped signature aligned with the Harman IE 2019 target, emphasizing sub-bass rumble and crisp upper-midrange clarity while keeping lower mids slightly recessed. The bass is deep and textured, though mid-bass punch can feel soft, and vocals sometimes edge into shoutiness at higher volumes.

Treble delivery is a standout, with the planar and PZT drivers offering snappy articulation and air without harsh sibilance. Technical performance is strong for the price, featuring a wide soundstage and precise imaging that excels in gaming scenarios. However, low impedance makes it source-sensitive, and accessories feel minimal with only one set of tips included.

While not class-leading in resolution, the Supermix 4 delivers cohesive tonality across its diverse drivers, making it a versatile choice for bass-forward genres and competitive gaming. Its slight warmth and holographic staging compensate for minor midrange thinning, offering solid value despite fierce competition.
